heady 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2005 Contemplating getting a D50. Will all the D70 experts give opinion of this camera versus the D70s? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2005 D50 + : -3dmatrixII -lower noise level -slightly smaller -cheaper -uses SD(more devices using this so it's easier to share) for me the main attraction would be the lower price and low noise as compared to the d70s. Of course resolution wise if you check out dpreview.com the d70s is still slightly more 'resolving'. So when r u getting ur new toy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2005 Can't say much other than comparing the tech specs since I've haven't tried out a D50 yet. If I didn't already have the D70 I think I'd certainly be interested in the D50 had I been given the option to choose. As blues mentioned the use of SD card is a plus since I had a few of them. I was actually contemplating a top end Prosumer before I took the plunge so the D50 bridges the gap even closer than the D70, not only financially but also dimension wise. The money saved on the initial cost can go to getting the obligatory accessories, not to mention better glass. In fact the 350D would have been tempting as well since having an option for a vertical grip is a bonus if you shoot portraits alot. Much like audio (D)SLR ownership can become like a money pit as well if you're not careful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2005 Having said that, anyone can help me source a good price for a Nikkor AF-S DX 17-55mm f2.8D IF ED & a Manfrotto 682 monopod? New or used. Also if anyone hears in the grapevine someone selling a good used Nikon (or Fuji with Nikon mount) DSLR around ±$1K I'd be interested, as long as it has a vertical grip (not 3rd party jobbies).
